OFFSHORE ORDER FOR DAMEN SHIPYARDS

Thursday, December 27, 2018

EMAR Offshore Services, a Netherlands-based dedicated maritime service company, has signed a contract with Damen Shipyards for delivery of a Damen ASD Tug 2811.

This stock vessel will be named E-Two and delivered to the client in the first quarter of 2019 . An additional FiFi1 system and aft winch will be installed.

Damen describes the ASD Tug 2811 as a ‘next-generation’ harbour tug. The design was launched in 2018. An upgraded version of the best-selling ASD Tug 2810, it has been further optimised for the decade ahead with features that include full compliance with latest stability regulations, a modular marine NOx reduction system and the Damen Digital Platform to maximise performance and reliability. These, plus 60-tonnes of bollard pull and high manoeuvrability, mean that it is capable of taking on almost any ship-handling operation, even in restricted waterways. E-Two will be the second ASD Tug 2811 to be delivered so far.

EMAR Offshore Services was established in 2010 and now operates worldwide, with a current focus on the Caribbean, South America, West Africa, Middle East and Russia regions. EMAR provdes knowledge and equipment support to the oil and gas, construction and mining industries. Its own fleet consists of six tugs, of which five were built by Damen.
